The process of exchange of hostages should be separated from political issues.

The exchange process with the militants hostages should be separated from political issues. This was stated by people’s Deputy Borislav Birch in the broadcast channel “112 Ukraine”.

“The Minsk format should be divided: separate humanitarian issues, and especially political. Don’t you perform some action, and then we exchange, and the exchange takes place separately, all the other issues separately. It should be so. Otherwise, a trade in hostages. This is a war crime,” said Birch.

The MP also added that there is an agreement on the exchange of all for all, but it stuck.

According to Birch, the exchange should be carried out by each of the parties.
